And I know not; perhaps it is a trial for you and enjoyment for a time."
Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(21:111) I think that this (delay) may be a trial for you, *103 and you are being given respite to enjoy yourselves for an appointed term" .
Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
*103) This was a "trial" because the delay in the "punishment" was deluding them into believing "All the things put forward by the Prophet are false: had he been a true Prophet of Allah we would have been punished long before this for our disbelief." They did not realize that the reason for the delay was that Allah willed to give them respite for mending their ways.
